Joyce Kirby commented on Cass2007's blog post Days 6 & 7"Great gives, Cass. Sounds like a wonderful party."
Cass2007 posted a blog postDay 5
Today I went to a Christmas party. We got together a bunch of girls from high school and did a gift exchange. So my obvious give for today was the gift that I gave to the exchange which I think the recipient was quite happy with.I also stepped up and offered to drive 2 of the other girls to the party. Usually I would wait for someone to volunteer, but I called all of the girls in my area and asked if they wanted a ride - I was even out of gas. It's not something I would always do.See More

I've been babysitting for a family for about 6 years now, and today I took the kids to a movie as their Christmas present. I like taking them out for an activity rather than buying them meaningless gifts. We talk the whole way to the theatre in the car, sit together nicely, and have wonderful memories to share afterwards. Definitely recommended instead of presents for the young ones in your life!

So I posted last night what I was going to do today, and I followed through! I just finished submitting my information to the OneMatch registry for bone marrow. I'm really nervous about it, but it would be amazing to save someone's life. I gave it a lot of thought and talked to my parents so I think it was the right decision.Another thing that I gave today that I didn't mention is that my friend who moved here from Africa has a Christmas party this week and had nothing to wear so I brought her…See More

Cass2007 posted a blog postGiving Day 1
So today (as of 8 minutes ago) will be day one of my month of giving. Today I am planning to do 2 things - but who knows maybe more will arise! May as well start it off with a bang.1. I made my dad a CD. My dad and I don't get along that great, but I heard a song that I thought he would like and then I decided to make him a CD with some music that I knew he would like to listen to in the car. Hopefully he will enjoy it.2. I signed up in the OneMatch registry for donating bone marrow. I'm kind…See More

- Why I'm choosing to give:

- What I'd most like to receive:
- - Bonding time with a good friend
- A letter from someone
- A plant, handmade gift, or just something special that someone saw and thought of me
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?

Day 8

Today I had a few flu-ish people in my life. I was sent home from work because I work out of my boss' home and she was sick in bed, and my best friend Kayla was also home with the flu. I made soup for my boss and brought it over for lunch, and for Kayla I brought over some movies and video games to keep her occupied on her day home from school. Hopefully I made their days a little easier!

Sunday I hosted a 'Sinterklaas Day' party. All of my friends from church are mennonite and I decided to give them a hint of Dutch. I think it went over well! About 30 people showed up compared to the normal 10. I baked Dutch treats, and got my hands on any other Dutch things (old DUTCH chips lol).
Monday I completely forgot about this. I am trying to think of something I may have given to someone. I studied with 2 people from my English class and gave them all my notes to use for… Continue
